Relevant projects

Pandus

In my previous role I was working on a rich text-editor (tiptap, built on top of ProseMirror) for a microlearning course authoring platform and learned that I love working on complex user-facing platforms that serve a purpose to unlock creativity mode in users. I started Pandus in pursuit of my desire to create a cool platform to help teams share knowledge and insights.
